Re: Jose for City?
You could say that we'd have won the league with Mourinho, but it's pure speculation and no sort of basis for a proper debate. As Mancio says, he's actually doing a little worse than Pellegrino this season.
I don't agree that Carlos has won us points 'in spite' of Mancini - many didn't buy into the idea of playing him as a lone forward (massive clamour on here to play him 'in the hole' behind Adebayor), so Mancini can be thanked for that. Also, Mou's current team are massively reliant on Ronaldo.
Like Mancini, he's got a solid base of 2 DMs, with a talented forward four that are allowed to just play. But whereas Mou has got Ronaldo, Kaka, Di Maria, Alonso, Ozil, Khedira, Bob's got Silva, Milner, Johnson, Yaya, Barry, De Jong... I love our players, but we're not going to compare unless given a little time.
The crux of the matter is this - 6 of our likely starting eleven are in their first season in England. Give them time. You can argue that Mancini should have settled them in quicker, but how many tremendous players have taken a season to adapt to the pace of the PL? Ronaldo, Drogba, Henry spring to mind!
